2017 Canada Summer Games Triathlon Technical Package 2017 Canada Summer Games Triathlon Technical Package Technical Packages are a critical part of the Canada Games. They guide the selection of athletes by prescribing the age and eligibility requirements, assist the organizing committees by detailing tournament formats and scoring procedures, assist Chefs de Mission in verifying eligibility, help with budgeting by describing the number of participants permitted, advance coaching certification by stating minimum requirements and generally contribute to athlete development by identifying each National Sport Organization’s (NSO) version of athletes in the “training to compete” phase of its Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD), or other suitable phase of the model as justified by the NSO, discussed with the LTAD expert group, and approved by the Canada Games Council (CGC) Sport Committee. Every Games' coach, manager, Sport Chairperson and Mission staff has an obligation to read and understand every aspect of the Technical Package. Failure to do so could cost an athlete his or her eligibility for the Games or could affect final standings or the conduct of the competition. If someone does not understand an aspect of a Technical Package, he or she is to seek clarification from the CGC Sport Committee through his or her Chef de Mission or NSO. Technical Packages are developed 36 to 24 months prior to Games primarily by NSOs, following principles outlined in this document, guidelines and requirements of the CGC. As the overall governing body of the Games, the CGC has the ultimate authority over Technical Packages, but this authority is exercised only with the knowledge and understanding of the concerned NSO. Technical Packages are developed by sport, not disciplines. If an individual wishes to seek clarification or initiate a change to a Technical Package leading up to a Games, the request should be first directed to the NSO or the Chef de Mission. The NSO or Chef de Mission will evaluate the merits of the request and will, if it has merit, submit the requested change or clarification to the CGC’s Sport Division for consideration. The NSO or Chef de Mission will submit the rationale for the request. Changes to age groups, eligibility requirements, team sizes or staff complements will not be considered after 36 months prior to the Games. Additions or changes to events/competition formats that result in a significant cost increase to the Host Society will not be considered after 24 months before the Games, unless approved by the CGC and the Host Society. Substantive changes to events or competition formats will not be considered after 18 months before the Games, unless approved by all participating provincial/territorial associations and the CGC. Minor corrections will be considered at almost any time, but will be increasingly difficult to achieve within six months of the Games. These time frames reinforce the importance of complete understanding of the Technical Package by Games’ participants early. Table of Contents 1.

  • Team Ontario April 2017
    Greetings from Jen Bennett, Chef de Mission I am honoured and excited to be leading Team Ontario for the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Canada Games and the 150th anniversary of Canada, so these Games will no doubt be an amazing experience for everyone involved. Our dedicated team of volunteer Mission Staff have been working for over a year to ensure that all athletes, coaches, and managers participating in the Games are fully prepared and able to focus on an optimal performance on the field of play. I have a great mission team, some of whom you will meet in this newsletter and I would like to thank them for all of their hard work thus far. We know our Ontario athletes have been busy training hard and we hope that every athlete participating in the Games enjoys every moment in Winnipeg. From the drama and excitement of competition on the field of play to the friendships you will make, the Canada Games experi- ence will be sure to give you memories to last a lifetime. Early in the planning process we worked through an exercise as Mission Staff to develop a vi- sion and value statement for Team Ontario in 2017 and came up with the following: Performance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication,E xcellence. You will see these values woven throughout everything we do and we trust that our athletes, coaches and managers will embrace the values of Team Ontario PRIDE both on and off the field of play. With less than 100 days to go until the Opening Ceremony, we are excited to continue to work with you as we prepare for the “hottest summer in half a century”.
